Comments:

An announced initial inspection was conducted on Thursday, July 21, 2022 from 10:00am until approximately 11:25am. The inspection was conducted on site with the Program Director and Administrator. At this time, some, but not all Child Day Center standards were reviewed. The physical plant and playground areas were inspected. Required postings were reviewed and found to be in compliance. The first aid kit and non-emergency supplies were inspected and found complete. Classrooms are equipped with a variety of age and stage appropriate supplies and materials. Transportation will be provided and two vehicles were inspected. Standards related to supervision and program could not be determined as the facility is not yet fully operational. Two sample staff records were reviewed. A conditional license will be recommended at this time and an unannounced follow-up inspection will be conducted within 60 days to determine compliance with standards that could not be determined at the initial inspection. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
